Antimima eendornensis
Declining
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Antimima eendornensis faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to overgrazing by livestock and trampling in its restricted range. Mining activities and infrastructure development pose additional threats to the specialized quartz field habitats this succulent requires. Climate change may alter the delicate moisture balance these plants depend on in their arid environment.
Habitat
This succulent plant is endemic to specialized quartz field habitats in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. It grows in rocky, well-drained soils among quartz pebbles and stones in arid succulent karoo vegetation.
